Occasionally the filters, shift center, NR or NV kick in and I've always written that off as random output from the computer.  A filter reset (long push on the shift knob) or a mode change usually brings it back to what is wanted.

Not sure how you expect anyone to help with so little information provided.

Did it happen only once or was it repeatable?   Do you have other gear (amp, SWR meter, antenna switch, autotuner, powered speakers, etc) connected to the K3 that get activated when the K3 turns on? Did the problem show up on headphones or speakers?

Did you only check one strong signal the first time or did you try others?  In other words, how do you know that the raspy signal wasn't a temporary problem on the other end?

But yes, I suppose the problem could have been a scratchy relay in the K3 somewhere.  That just seems less likely to me than other possibilities.

I just turned on the rig, went to the CW portion of 20 meters, and when I tuned in on a strong CW signal, the audio was raspy and distorted.  After
turning the radio off and then on again, the signal sounded normal.  Any
ideas?

Thanks,

Rocky, AE7US
